Although it may seem like this question would have an obvious answer, it does pose a small dilemma once you actually think about it.
Which is better to buy? Tester Eau de Parfums or The originals? (Of course, I always opt for the originals)
The dilemma part: Testers always come with a DEEP discount
as opposed to spending $40-$90+ bucks for the originals.

Ok, in some instances...this being a perfect example...you get what you pay for! Always buy the originals! You just don't really know what you are getting with the Tester. If it is just that it was the one bottle open for people to try out, and that is why it is called tester, it is cheaper because it has been used. If it is the knock off version of the original, then it usually is not the same quality. Buy the original!

Neither. I don't care for perfume/cologne on myself or others. It bugs me when I smell people's "fragrance" and wonder if they bathed in it, when I smell it when before the person has come and after they left, and just sitting by somebody who put too much on. Then there are the people with allergies and have attacks the second they smell the artificial chemicals.
As for the difference in price, I thought the only difference between the tester and the "regular" was that the tester is the one that sat on the cosmetics counter for people to test, hence the name. I don't know for sure, though, as I don't go to department stores and I definitely do not go to the cosmetics counter.
However, this is just me.

I didn't even know you could by testers haha. Now that I know that I'm all for it lol. Sounds great! Only difference is they have "TESTER" written on the bottle. Really it's all the same except cheaper I guess!

Even though they are cheaper, the testers haven't been actually tested..hence the name. So, for safety and smell reasons (the originals are always the best), go with the the pricey instead of the crappy.

Price never really matters for me. My dad owns an oil refinery if that explains anything to you.
